An early user of the product -- Access Intelligence, an information and marketing company headquartered in Rockville, Md. -- has been able to reduce email mailbox size by 66 percent and cut backup and recovery time from two and a half hours to 30 minutes with the SourceOne Email Management product, according to Tom Leizear, director of IT at the company.
Tidmarsh says the majority of companies may not need the Discovery Manager, at least not until they get involved in more legal and regulatory cases. The Discovery Collector/Email Management package will sell for $30 per mailbox.
Brian Babineau, a senior analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group, says EMC is making a smart move to offer a new email archiving product with additional features to broaden its appeal. E-discovery is a growing market and by adding those capabilities, EMC is helping "corporate counsel and litigation support specialists manage e-mail -- the most commonly requested source of electronic evidence according to our research."
EMC is one of the few vendors with the resources to build a new application (Discovery Manager), integrated with another app (Discovery Collector), and add them to a revamped third app (E-mail Management) and offer it as a suite, Babineau says. "Yes, it took them a while and customers will let us know if it is worth the wait, but it is a commendable effort to try and tackle all of these challenges in a single development cycle," he says.
